I am so wildly conflicted on this book. I picked it up because I needed a palette cleanser and finally caved to booktok. The spice was fun and I totally get why the hockey girls like it. I was surprised to see how many darker themes were explored in book given the focus/attention it gets. The writing isn't anything spectacular but it also didn't detract from the story. 

I think the rating on this one is more personal for me than others because I can't say I would necessarily recommend this book to other people but a lot of the plot/background hit way to close to home to not hold it close to my heart.

Is this the best written book? no. but does it hit the spot. absolutely yes. the sometimes awkward “because duh i’m a man” garrett thoughts at the beginning are compensated by the characters and his personality at the end of the book.

"The Deal" captivated me with its courage in tackling tough subjects. I appreciated how it delved into complex issues with depth and sensitivity, making it an engaging and thought-provoking read. Highly recommend for those seeking substance in their stories.
